It’s been mentioned elsewhere but I want to read this article at the weekend and if I don’t mention it here I’ll forget it!

Self-Hosting Movies with MoviX
This article goes some of the way towards explaining how to create a CD based version of Linux that’ll play movies and other media types.
I for one have never managed to get divx working properly in WinXP, or get divx 5 working in Win2k, but they work fine in Linux through mplayer. *shrug*
eMoviX could be very useful!
Reactions to RFC 3514
Remember the RFC that proposed adding an “evil bit” to TCP/IP? Here’s what people said about it!
Sometimes, More Is More
This guy is brave coming out and saying he thinks KDE is better than Gnome. He even included his email address. *cough*he’ll learn quickly!*cough*
(and the same applies to you rabid Mac and Windows advocates! 🙂
webDav Editors
This moring I read an article on configuring Apache to use webDav. That got me wondering what webDav enabled editors are available? Apparently Mozilla supports webDav! Must take a look!

Amazing photograph taken at sea! wow!
Installing PHP4, mod_ssl and Apache
If you’re installing PHP4, with an ssl enabled Apache you may run into the same problem I just ran into.
The lines LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so and AddModule mod_php4.c are inserted by the php installer automatically. Unfortunately, mod_ssl also adds in code to load mod_ssl.
From what I saw, it looks like the PHP installer adds the php loadmodule commands after the last load module. That’s fine in most cases, but unfortunately here, the last load module command had an if statement around it. When I visited a non-https url php wouldn’t work!
For some reason it didn’t add the AddType commands either but those were easily copied from another httpd.conf!
Today..
This morning I got bluetooth working from Win2k. After a few reboots (of both PC and phone) I was able to transfer over a few gam^h^h^h^happs to the phone. It seems the Win2k software opens an ftp connection to the phone!
I wonder if anyone has done any work getting the phone setup as an external ftp server inside KDE Konqueror?
I installed Red Hat 9 on a server here. Then I downloaded apt for Red Hat 9 and did an “update” and “upgrade”. It found updated packages for openssl, samba, and sendmail so be warned if you’re putting a virgin RH9 box on the internet – chances are it has exploitable applications.
scottandrew.com – nice design
Scott – I know you redesigned a while back, but it just struck me tonight how nice your design is. Well done!
Robert Fisk In Baghdad
I just heard Robert Fisk talk on Today FM. He told how the tank that fired on the Palestine Hotel wasn’t being sniped upon. He was halfway between the tank and the hotel itself and didn’t hear any attack. A French film crew in the hotel were filming the tank for 5 minutes and didn’t record any shots. Hours later did an American General not announce that the tank was under attack from snipers? Was he covering up something?
Robert described seeing a father raise his child to a camera for the world to see: all that was left of the child was a head, torso and one arm. The world will never see those images.
Roberted posted an excellent article this morning from Baghdad. Go read it.
